The CBBS Suite is a specialized technical indicator that aggregates central bank balance sheet (CBBS) data from major global economies (US, EU, China, and Japan) and analyzes the data to assist with trend-following strategies. By using CBBS data as an economic signal, this tool provides insights into long and short trading opportunities based on macroeconomic changes.
Functionality: The CBBS Suite aggregates central bank balance sheets, converting the combined data into percentage changes over multiple timeframes (30–360 days). It then calculates average scores to highlight the direction and strength of the CBBS trend, with customizable smoothing options for precision.
Signal Modes: Users can select from three modes for optimal customization:
Standard – Displays unsmoothed trend signals.
Smoothed – Applies a smoothing function for clearer signal representation.
Combined – Shows both standard and smoothed signals for a comprehensive view
Indicator Features:
Thresholds: Customize long and short entry points based on score thresholds and percentage change limits.
Signal Smoothing: Choose from EMA, SMA, or WMA for trend smoothing, with adjustable lengths for greater flexibility.
Visuals: Background color coding for long and short zones and up/down triangles on chart bars to clearly identify long and short signals.
Limitations: As with any indicator, CBBS Suite should be used as part of a broader trading strategy. It doesn’t predict future movements but instead reflects central bank activity trends.
This indicator is designed to add value to the TradingView community by providing unique macroeconomic insights based on central bank data trends. It’s a valuable tool for users looking to incorporate CBBS data into their technical analysis toolkit.
